The Inches and Pounds HCG Diet Weight LossDoctors are the first in 50 years to publish a medically updated and modernized version ofDr. Simeons original HCG Diet Protocol from their years of research and hands on patient care experience. Their goal with this protocol revision was to achieve higher standards and provide a safer and more tolerable program for their patients. The new protocol suggests that a less than 800 calorie daily allowance has shown to have equivalent and /or similar weight loss results than the original 500.
By definition, "starvation mode" occurs when you consume less than 800 calories daily. When the body is lacking adequate nutrition, normally the body will go into "starvation mode" and store your fat. However, if HCG is taken daily while on a less than 800 calorie diet,the hypothalamus gland in the brain is triggered to release abnormal fat, at 500, 600, 700+ calories.....and deliver those calories back into the body to utilize as nutrition instead of storing it. However, be careful not to exceed 800calories because the mechanism to release thefat will not be effective. Our doctors are comfortable by managing their patient's daily dietbetween 725-775 calories. The dieter does not need to consume only500 calories per day.
The calorie increase is one of many improvements that have helped their patients tolerate a low calorie diet without the feeling of hunger, weakness and fatigue, not only because prescribed RX HCG (125 IU's) delivers up to 2000 calories per day from your own fat reservefor the body to utilize as energy, but also the body is utilizing an additional 300 calories, most of which is protein. As we all know, protein burns fat and assists in curbing the appetite. Many other areas of the protocol just to name a few have been updated such as more food choices, continuing prescription medications, taking multi-vitamins, eating breakfast, infusing B12 in the HCG for added energy and prescription HCG is now available in sublingual drops. However, please do not confuse those drops with the "Homeopathic HCG" drops that you will find out there on the market right now. Those have been shown to contain water, alcohol, some vitamins, herbal stimulants and maybe filtered microscopic trace amounts of HCG if any at all. Several news reports have done investigations by testing the bottles of so-called "Homeopathic HCG" drops and found no HCG hormone at all."Homeopathic HCG" drops do not contain adequate levels of HCG hormone that is required to unlock and access stored fat reserves. Trace amounts of HCG will not trigger the hypothalamus. Don't be persuaded by ads that claim they are selling the "real thing". You cannot buy real HCG hormone over the counter. The original Dr. Simeons Protocol does not suggest the use of Homeopathic HCG for the purpose of weight loss. Dr. Simeons studies were based on the use of administering 125 IU's of pharmaceutical HCG hormone available by prescription only. Homeopathic HCG can be found at most vitamin stores over the counter without a prescription and is very inexpensive. However, any weight that may be lost is a result of calorie restriction only which at 500 calories can be very taxing on the organs and tissues, especially the heart. In addition, muscle loss most often will cause the metabolism to slow down, thereby prolonging yo-yo dieting.
Our doctors have found underlying health conditions in many patientsbecause theyrequire blood testing prior to prescribing HCG. Some of the health conditions found include type 2 diabetes, elevated PSA (prostate) levels, auto immune disorders and kidney and liver problems, all of which were unknown to the patient. It is crucial to be properly monitored by a physician when starting the HCG Diet or any restricted calorie diet. We urge you to read the New Protocol Book before you start HCG therapy and make sure you are monitored by a physician that prescribes pharmaceutical100% realHCG hormone. Please educate yourself and lose weight safely!
